9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Won twice over 1m4f on good to firm last season; began the season with a good second at Pontefract last month (1m4f, good to soft) and could go well if coping with this softer ground. |
5/1 |

Made all to win the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 6lb lower mark; followed up at Beverley in July and only just denied in his hat-trick bid when last seen 309 days ago; races off the same mark here and there should be more to come this year. |

Six of his seven wins have been on the AW at Southwell, the most recent by a wide margin over 1m6f in March under Elle-May Croot; held in four starts since and others are preferred. |

Won over 2m at Ffos Las for Jedd O'Keeffe last August (good to soft; awarded race by the stewards) and some fair efforts after that; not done as well since (tailed off over hurdles last time) and has been well beaten all three AW runs; back after wind surgery. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Last month's C&D success (good to firm) took his record in handicaps here to 3241; no surprise were he to reverse previous 1m2f course placings with Myna despite a 4lb re-raise, and Liam Wright can claim more here than in that apprentice race last time; player. |

1st 6 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win over 1m at Brighton last June; running well for new yard and although he hasn't shone over this far in two previous attempts he kept on quite well when a close fourth over 1m2f here last time; not ruled out. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Had 1m4f and 1m6f wins on consecutive starts last summer and she's now 4lb below her last winning mark; couldn't reach the leaders when fifth of ten at Bath (1m6f; good to firm) 19 days ago but she won't mind this slower ground and could go well. |
6/1 |

5th 6 (10) |
22nd May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Had 1m4f and 1m6f wins on consecutive starts last summer and she's now 2lb below her last winning mark; following two respectable shows over 1m4f this term, she is one to take seriously on this return to 1m6f. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Sole turf win in this race last year; in reasonable form on AW at Southwell in the spring but his first run since wind surgery, on Newcastle AW, was a poor effort. |
8/1 |
|
11th 11 (2) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back to winning ways at Southwell (1m4f) in March and has continued in good nick, undergoing wind surgery before third of 11 in 1m6f handicap there 33 days ago; very much one to consider in a change of headgear. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Only 1-39 and last two runs over 2m and 1m4f were underwhelming; did run quite well in two starts during April so can't be dismissed; 1lb out of the weights. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Sole win from 38 starts came over 7f at Lingfield in 2022 but she has posted some good efforts this year, including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) last month; however, she was disappointing at Southwell (2m, AW) 29 days ago and needs to bounce back returned to this shorter trip. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Ten-race maiden but she ran one of her better races when second of seven (beaten 3l) here over 8.5f 27 days ago; doesn't appear to be crying out for this step up in trip but she has claims if seeing it out. |
15/2 |

2nd 8 (6) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
First real signs of promise when fourth in a couple of minor AW events in March; not at her best 16 days ago and she is not a solid option back on turf. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Handful of fair efforts in the spring but he's a longstanding maiden who's lost his way of late; again hung left at Hamilton last Thursday (ended up on the stands' rail) and running at another right-handed course would be a worry. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Placed a few times this year but well beaten at Newcastle two starts ago and she hung badly left and unseated her rider at Ripon last Thursday; remains a maiden after 20 starts and others make greater appeal. |

14-race losing run now stretches back two years, with no trip this year (tried between 7f and 1m6f, including C&D) provoking a revival. |
33/1 |

8th 3 (9) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win was in a Newcastle maiden (7f, AW) two years ago and he's been well held in his three runs season; this big drop back in trip could help but others are more convincing; cheekpieces reapplied. |

24-race maiden but he has posted some solid efforts, including when third of 14 at Catterick (1m4f, good) last month; now tries 1m6f for the first time. |
8/1 |

4th 7 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Some creditable efforts this spring including when third at Catterick (1m4f, good) last month; hard to rule out another good run but he didn't really fire at Pontefract last time and his overall record is now 0-23. |
